On the river...fish from the porch! Close to RMNP.....5 star reviews

Sleep to the sound of the Big Thompson River just outside your door!





The CASA RIO VISTA is a beautifully appointed and decorated 3 bedroom, 3 1/2 bath home is located right on the Big Thompson River in a quiet private, gated community, Blue Spruce Village. The Big Thompson runs just a few feet away from the back deck. Enjoy your morning coffee or happy hour drinks listening to the rushing river from your wrap around, spacious deck. Open the windows and hear the river all day and night! We stock the river with rainbow trout every 2 weeks around late June to late Aug.

The master bedroom has a king size bed, a bay window overlooking the river and a recently renovated bath. The second master has its own bath and a queen size bed. The third bedroom (a new addition to the home)can be a children's retreat....a built in bunk bed...queen on bottom and XL twin on top. This bedroom also has its own bath. Bedrooms are all upstairs. The downstairs leather sofa opens to a queen size bed.

This home has it all. The kitchen is fully equipped with top quality dishware, cookware and utensils. Outside you'll find a Weber gas grill. The living area has a TV/DVR/stereo, DVD library and games. Our home also has WIFI internet access.

Blue Spruce Village is approximately 5 minutes outside Estes Park and two miles from the entrance to the specular Rocky Mountain National Park. Only one quarter mile from the original entrance to the park, you can walk to a park trail that leads to beautiful Moraine Park. You won't be disappointed!

'We had such a wonderful time here at Casa Rio Vista! Thanks for such a beautifully decorated and comfortable place for us to spend our vacation. Our kids were calling it 'home' after our first night.' G.S., McKinney Texas

'Most of all, your beautiful home made our 15 hour drive so worth it. We definately plan on coming again and recommending your home for a guaranteed pleasurable stay.' D. G., Ft Worth, Texas

'Thank you for such lovely accommodations. Our windows and doors were always open to hear the rushing waters.' J.W., Omaha Neb.

'What a magical retreat you have here! We still can't get over the fact that just outside the back door is such a wild, beautiful piece of nature in the river. We have spent countless hours sitting on the porch gazing at it, listening to it from our bedrooms and fishing in it (Chloe caught a trout!). It's an amazement we can't get over.' T.S., Austin, Texas

Property was well-maintained and clean. Location is easy to find and quiet. House has everything needed for a comfortable stay including fishing poles. It is amazing being able to walk out the back door and be "at the river". My only recommendation would be to update the in-cabin information sheets to match the emails that are sent. Thank you for sharing your lovely home!

The Perfect Location
There are so many positives about this beautiful home. The best part is the view!!! We woke up every morning and had coffee sitting on the porch that overlooks the river. The kitchen is fully stocked and very clean. All the rooms are upstairs and they each have their own bathroom. The downstairs couch pulls out into a bed as well. We loved having all the windows open and listening to the river all day and night. This home is also very close to Estes Park downtown and the Rocky Mountain National Park. There's so much to do. We did the Mountain Coaster, The Stanley hotel and lots of shopping. We couldn't get entry tickets into the park before we got to Estes Park because they were sold out, but the park opens up at 2:00 to all guests, so we were able to drive in and made it to the Alpine Overlook at the top. It's a must see. Lots of wildlife. If you are looking for the perfect house in the perfect location, this is the house for you!! The management company is very responsive and friendly. Don't look any further, this is the house for all.

We had the best time here.. Hearing the river right outside was so amazing and we miss it so much since being back home in Texas. The house was just perfect, clean, well stocked and in the perfect location for everything we wanted to do. The entry to the National Park is super close and close to downtown Estes Park. The management team is very helpful and very responsive. We have saved this house in our favs to stay again when we plan another vacation to Estes Park. Thank you!

Comfortable home. Great location. Loved being on the river! Our only disappointment was that even though we were there for 3 weeks this year, we were not able to book for next year while we were still staying there as we were told we should be able to do.

A River Runs Through It!!!
Our SECOND time here, and great again!!! Very clean, well- equipped property in a beautiful and quiet area. LOVED sitting on the porch, watching and listening to the river moving by right outside our door, enjoying coffee in the morning and wine with appetizers in the evening- followed by the gentle murmur of the water creating very restful sleep!. It was SO enjoyable- that we changed our plans to go out for dinner a few nights, and had EVERY evening here instead!!! Each bedroom had its own full bath, and while it was only the two of us, it would be great for 3 couples, or a family with kids.

Walking in the door was like coming home. The new Weber BBQ was a nice addition. Back deck and patio needed cleaning, but the river and inside was fantastic.

This beautiful place is made for getting re-set and re-aligned! We have returned for the third year. Much to our delight, the property has returned to its previous standard of excellence which we greatly appreciated! To us this is quintessential Colorado! We look forward to being back in 2024!

We had a relaxing stay at BSV. The river just out the back door was everyone’s favorite. We did not need for anything, as the house was stocked well. The location was perfect - far enough from town to relax, close enough to everything that we could come and go as we pleased. Definitely recommend to anyone looking at visiting the Estes Park area.

Perfect location
My family and I had an amazing time at this location. Waking up to the water right outside the back porch was my favorite part of the whole trip. We would definitely stay here again. Only thing that would have made it better was a hammock or something more comfortable to sit on outside.

Gem on the river
We enjoyed our time at this house- it was so relaxing! When we weren’t hiking, we would sit on the back porch, taking in the sights and sounds of the river and the many birds and animals that were near. One afternoon, several elk were in the river and across the way on the river bank. So peaceful- just what we needed. The rooms in the house were comfortable. Having a bathroom for each bedroom was a definite bonus. The decor was a bit dated but the house had a cozy cabin-like vibe and we had everything we needed. Communication with the property managers was great- I promptly got a reply with each message. Thank you for a great family vacation! Highly recommend!

The house was spacious and comfortable and the highlight was having the River right off the back porch to relax after an active morning. It is in a nice quiet neighborhood and close to the park and downtown. Would definitely stay here again!

This was our 2nd stay within the last year. We love the house! Plenty of indoor and outdoor space in a quiet private neighborhood. Leaving the windows open sleeping to the sound and breeze of the river was awesome. 5 minutes to RMNP and 5 minutes the other direction to town. We love this home! I’m sure we’ll be back for a 3rd stay soon.

A special place
When you first walk in, it’s evident that this is the owners second home, not a full time rental. From the furnishings to the excellent equipped kitchen, this is on of the best rentals we have used. They have rules in the development, but all are just common sense. Throughly enjoyed our stay
